Well I learnt that the “Civil War” was anything but a battle over slavery. Mostly economic differences. Revisionist history has set in purdy good. They even say the Stars and Bars is a symbol of racism and slavery. What? [Flame away]
Slavery as an economic model will never work in the modern world. The Industrial revolution started the process sometime in the early 1800s
The more current 20th century versions of slavery are also failures. U.S.S.R., Venezuela, Argentina, the whole of the middle east, India
Maine sent thousands of its native sons to fight in the Civil War.
I’ve seen the recruiting posters they responded to, asking for volunteers to fight to end scourge of slavery.
I don’t care what the “experts” say the war was about. I know why those men went to fight.
